The fear of being blamed for taking advantage of others led to a quarrel between Aunt Zhang and Granny Sun.
"It's still thirteen cents per jin, no price increase," Xiao Yishan stated. This stopped the argument between the two old women, which had been growing more heated.
A villager said happily, "Dashan, you're always so fair."
Aunt Zhang also weighed in, "Dashan, you're such a good-hearted person."
Xiao Yishan did not respond. He was well aware that even if he lost a cent for each jin, it amounted to only a few tens of cents in total. And he was not the only hunter in the village. The other hunters, while not as diligent as he was in hunting in the mountains, rarely came home empty-handed.
